Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Advisory

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
This TSUNAMI can strike coastlines with wave height less than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up less than 1m
This center will continue to monitor sea level gauges nearest the region and report if any additional TSUNAMI wave activity is observed
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
Evaluation of TSUNAMI information based on historical earthquake and TSUNAMI modelling there is no threat that a TSUNAMI has been generated that can cause damage or major effect in the region
This message is for information only
However at some coasts particularly those near the epicenter higher tsunamis MAY arrive than our estimation
Authorities should be aware of this possibility
